How much $$$ does it take? - Snorlax94 - 02-09-2017

Recently, I saw some members talking about going to a LOI dinner event. I've looked at the levels of giving, and didn't recall seeing the LOI dinner listed there.

My question is, what does it take to get invited to various special events?

I went to the Pac-12 championship game about a year ago, and I remember soon after the game, all these Stanford fans started streaming onto the field. They showed badges on lanyards, and they were on the field when the Pac-12 commissioner gave Shaw the trophy. That looked really awesome. My question is, what does it take to get there? Many of the people seemed young, so maybe it was just family members and varsity athletes, but if it is possible with a certain donation level, I was curious what it would take. There were so many people who got onto the field, I wondered if it was within reach for normal fans.

And what does it take to get invited to the loi dinner or other fball events? Are there any particular tiers people recommend trying to achieve?

And last, Stanford advertised free bball tix to a game for fball season ticket holders who were scanned in for thr rice game. I never saw any follow up on that, and I noticed I received a "thank you for attending" email once this season -- after the usc game -- so I was wondering if people got emails after every game, in which case, maybe something is amiss with tracking my attendance.

Thanks for any responses and info!

With regard to the lanyard-wielding fans with postgame field access, my assumption has always been that they are indeed family of players. They are common in my section, and are often wearing makeshift jerseys emblazoned with the names and numbers of players who rarely, if ever, see the field.

Snorlax, I can answer your question with regard to the Coaches receptions that will happen in the April-May timeframe.  These are fantastic events where you get a chance to meet and chat with the coaches (Shaw, VanDerveer, Haase/Dawkins, etc.), Bernard Muir and other AD leaders.

In LA, ALL Stanford alums have been invited.  Buck/Cardinal membership not required.

Go to gostanford look at the directory call Heather Owen in development

The LOI Reception was a mystery as people giving much more than me and I'm not a cheap date not being invited

Otoh I've given that amount or more for years
